Title: Thermally immobilized polysaccharide derivatives
Inventor: FRANCOTTE ERIC
IPC: C08B15/00
Filed: 1997-06-20
Abstract: The invention essentially relates to thermally crosslinked polysaccharide derivatives which contained no polymerizable functional groups prior to crosslinking and which are used in particular as support materials for the chromatographic separation of enantiomers. The present invention relates to thermally crosslinked polysaccharide derivatives in which the OH groups, as OR groups, have been esterified or converted into a carbamate (urethane), or mixtures of these, with the proviso that the OR groups contained no polymerizable double bonds prior to crosslinking. The thermally crosslinked polysaccharides according to the invention in conditioned form can also be used as pure polymers for the chromatographic separation of enantiomers.

Title: Temperature monitoring catheter
Inventor: SULLIVAN MICHAEL D
IPC: A61M25/00
Filed: 1984-09-25
Abstract: A temperature monitoring catheter which has an elongated shaft having a distal end and a proximal end and a wall portion defining a drainage lumen extending longitudinally therethrough. The wall portion can also define a longitudinally extending inflation lumen which extends therethrough. The drainage lumen opens at the proximal end of the shaft through a drainage eyelet. An elastic, inflatable sleeve portion can be bonded to and extend annularly around a portion of the proximal end of the shaft. The elastic, inflatable sleeve portion is in fluid communication with the inflation lumen so that it can be inflated for retaining the catheter in a patient's body. A temperature thermistor is imbedded in the wall of the shaft at the proximal end of the shaft. A bifilar electric wire coil, helically wound, is imbedded in the wall of the shaft and connected at one end to the temperature thermistor. The other end of the bifilar wire extends from the distal end of the shaft for providing a connection to a power source and to a temperature monitor.

Patent AU-4223385-A (AU)
Title: Ground speed sensor
Inventor: PHELAN JAMES JOSEPH
IPC: G01S15/60
Filed: 1985-05-09
Abstract: The sensor comprises an ultrasonic transmitter and receiver and a processing circuit in which a phase-locked loop tracks the received frequency in order to indicate the speed of a vehicle over the ground. A circuit (18) provides an attenuated and phase-shifted replica of the transmitted signal. This is combined in a circuit (20) with the received signal (14) to cancel out a cross-talk component in the received signal. A low pass filter (26) and squaring circuit (28) provide a signal (30) for the phase locked loop which is substantially pure at the reflected and received signal frequency. It is therefore possible to compare this with a reference frequency corresponding to zero speed to provide an output signal with sign and magnitude indicating respectively the direction (forwards or reverse) and speed of movement of the vehicle.

Title: Material classifying apparatus
Inventor: LEASE DANIEL T
IPC: B07B4/08
Filed: 1999-06-03
Abstract: In order to separate two classifiable materials, a material classifying apparatus includes a vibratory conveyor for conveying a fluidizable material from a material to be separated therefrom from an inlet end through a material separation section to an outlet end located downstream of the material separation section. A plenum chamber directs air upwardly through the fluidizable material and the material to be separated therefrom in the material separation section of the vibratory conveyor to cause fluidization of the fluidizable material and separation of the material to be separated therefrom by forming the material separation section to include a fluidizing deck for supporting the two classifiable materials while accommodating passage of air upwardly from the plenum chamber therethrough. With this arrangement and construction, the upper surface of the fluidizing deck has fluidizing zones for stabilizing the fluidizable material on the fluidizing deck to produce a uniform airflow through the fluidizable material to facilitate separation of the material to be separated therefrom upstream of the outlet end of the vibratory conveyor.
